"Tsunami waves could be as high as 42 feet at the Seattle Great Wheel and will reach inland as far as Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park," Washington State DNR tweeted.
Washington Geological Survey division of DNR wrote in a press release that a 7.5-magnitude earthquake on the Seattle Fault would generate tsunami waves over 40 feet tall and hit the downtown district in less than three minutes.
Geologists said the last known quake on the Seattle Fault occurred more than one thousand years ago, and geologic evidence shows at least five quakes of an estimated magnitude 6.5 occurred on the fault in the last 3,500 years.
"Most often, when we think of tsunamis, we think of our outer coast and communities along the Pacific Ocean. But there's a long history of earthquakes on faults in Puget Sound.The study was "conducted to help local and state emergency managers and planners develop and refine response and preparedness plans for a tsunami in the middle of Washington's largest population center and economic hub," the release said.
"While the history of earthquakes and tsunamis along the Seattle Fault is less frequent than the Cascadia subduction zone, the impacts could be massive. That's why it's critical these communities have the information they need to prepare and respond," Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz said in the release.
An earthquake swarm off the Pacific Northwest coastline in late December incited fears that the next big tsunami could be nearing.

Australia is likely to lose all its coastline when SHTF and of course that is where 80% (my guess) of the population live.
Will the tsunami be big enough to surf it East to Ontario....
And noooo lolll N.Québec... Ontario is overflowing of blokes n blocks, 'cept for Baybars n ReRan 😋

Not sure how to do this nor if I should but I think I'll just run with my board and hit the surf. 😕😔 I have been holding this gently for long now but it still wants to be told, so here goes. I know we are public here but we are a small group and all close so I do me spontaneously and trust.
Love is camaraderie which is energy present in all places at all times right? Relating creates relationships, online is just as meaningful and caring as in person but without that 3D repose (which us critters all crave nonetheless). I truly feel we've all been dealt such a profond challenge in loosing our 3D-Bud RC and we all struggle dealing with that. Being a collective helps us heal abit, but again it is difficult as we are all so solo on that wave.
Ok so, The timing of this discussion is extraordinary in its precision today (Ah yes... because of all the 🌟⭐🌟 in our heaven. (My charts have many personal and very significant precise aspects this weekend regarding the days' transits in the sky, I knew that and had wondered how that would play out, now I know ma💖Jolie.🧸).
I just thought of frank chapeau I owe him astro news... so sorry François, I have been riding many challenges since Nov and a tad over!whelmed, having a hard time keeping up with posts here and responses.

For myself, life has been super busy. I have not posted much, but I'm still here, alive and kicking the pretensions of the Rulers of the Universe. Be well, L.G.
Our friendship is as close as ours. I can no longer live by myself whilst others are homeless. We have been talking tonight about living our future fully in desires to enjoy being together cooking gardening and helping our freedom community as best we can and not worrying about money or time or division of any kind. I feel whatever I have I will share and she feels the same.
We would both be open to having a man in our life, if that happens. It is a very happy place to be. Life feels very fulfilling. And I still have a spare bed.
We are getting more serious about emfs and surveillance - protecting ourselves as much as possible, but living life to the full.
J t’aime.
No way!
The CDC better get on this ASAP. We need masks and mandatory life vest wearing now. The big offshore ones with automatic strobe lights too.
While I'm no engineer, if I may suggest a small addendum to your excellent idea of preemptively wearing life vests - perhaps an anti-fear vaccine along with a vaccine to bolster buoyancy could be attached to the life vest for the wearer.
